Publication date: September 2023
Authors: Jasmine Shio, Kaushiki Ghose
This briefing examines social norms in Tanzania that hinder women’s participation in political leadership. It summarises the findings and recommendations of a 2023 Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ Media Action research study into this issue.
Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ Media Action worked with Georgetown University to develop a qualitative study to investigate the social norms that inhibit women’s participation in political leadership at all levels. Ä¢¹½¶ÌÊÓÆµ Media Action’s Research and Learning team used Social Norms Exploration Techniques () to assess key drivers and barriers relating to this issue, and how to amplify the former and overcome the latter.
Full details of the insights discovered can be found in the research briefing document attached.
